Sophie Benson's paintings are reminiscent of daguerreotypes, those early 19th century photographs which, even when developed, seem as provisional as condensation on a window pane. The exhibition contains paintings spanning the last five years and includes the Floating Island Series. These studies of icebergs, beautiful and yet threatening, share with the imagery of both Caspar David Friedrich and Andrei Tarkovsky a metaphysical stillness.
